Monogatari Series

The first day of the second trimester, Tsubasa Hanekawa chats with the ghost girl Mayoi Hachikuji en route to school. Right afterwards, she witnesses a giant "tiger" apparition. Later that day, her house completely burns down from a fire.

Worrying about Tsubasa Hanekawa as she lost a home to return to, Hitagi Senjyogahara allows the girl to spend the night at her place. Tsubasa eats a meal prepared by Hitagi and wakes up together with her.

Suruga Kanbaru, an underclassman, came to visit Tsubasa Hanekawa now that she has resumed attending school. Apparently, Koyomi Araragi has asked for Suruga's presence tonight. Tsubasa returned to Hitagi's house without knowing what was going on, only to meet up with unexpected individuals.

At Hitagi Senjyogahara's discretion, Hanekawa Tsubasa ends up living under the roof of the Araragi residence. Spending an evening in Koyomi's house, Tsubasa realizes that she had turned into Black Hanekawa the previous night.

Tsubasa determined the identity of the giant tiger apparition "Kako," and writes one long letter. The letter was addressed to Black Hanekawa, the apparition that could be described as her other personality.

On August 20th, Koyomi Araragi left his home to deliver to Mayoi Hachikuji something she had forgotten, and bumped into the young shikigami girl Yotsugi Ononoki. Koyomi ended up buying Yotsugi a popsicle but was unable to find Mayoi. He realized upon coming home that he had not done any of the homework that he was supposed to do, yet tomorrow was already the day of the term opening ceremony.

Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino unexpectedly time warped back to May 13th 11 years ago. Koyomi thinks of saving Mayoi Hachikuji, who was "destined to become a ghost after getting into a traffic accident on her way to see her mother the next day – Mother's Day." 

After succeeding in changing the destiny of Mayoi Hachikuji, who was supposed to be the victim of a traffic accident, Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino returned to August 21st 11 years in the future. There, the two of them find out that their original world had been completely annihilated.

Shinobu Oshino realizes that humanity had turned into zombies thanks to the powers of Kiss-shot, the vampire that is the king of apparitions. Koyomi Araragi shoots up fireworks as an SOS signal, but instead they fall into the crisis of being surrounded by zombies. However, an unexpected individual arrives at the scene...

Nadeko Sengoku's classmates are all strained thin due to the "hocus-pocus" of con artist Deishu Kaiki. Because of that, Nadeko goes to school every day with a heavy heart; but one day, she starts seeing white snakes all over the place.

Nadeko Sengoku is asked by Kuchinawa, a snake deity, to find his object of worship. Nadeko accepts and goes to junior high school during the day with Kuchinawa, who turned himself into a guise resembling a white scrunchie, while searching the town at night for the object of worship.

Nadeko spent the evening at the Araragi residence after Koyomi mistakes her for running away from home and takes her back to his place. The next morning, she talks to Koyomi's younger sister Tsukihi, a friend from back in grade school, about how she is worried that other people say she is "cute."

Nadeko finally found the object of worship. Kuchinawa, now in a good mood, tells Nadeko that he will grant her a wish. But Koyomi shows up right then and starts his attempt to convince Nadeko to let go of that object of worship.

Koyomi returned from the time warp with Shinobu. From North Shirahebi Shrine, he headed home together with Mayoi Hachikuji and returned her backpack to her. However, right afterwards, the two of them are assaulted by a mysterious "Darkness."

With the thanks of Yotsugi Ononoki, Koyomi and Mayoi were able to escape from the "darkness." Within the ruins of the cram school that they escaped to, Shinobu is consulted about the "darkness." She starts to speak of what happened 400 years ago.

Koyomi finishes hearing the story about 400 years ago from Shinobu. Yotsugi joins them at the spot, and Mayoi wakes up from her slumber. The four of them were talking within the cram school ruins, but the "darkness" appears a second time at that location.

Koyomi and company climbed down the mountain they were hiding in after escaping from the "darkness." Upon visiting a village between the mountains, they meet Izuko Gaen and receive an explanation concerning the "darkness."

On January 1st, Hitagi Senjyogahara makes a phone call to Deishu Kaiki, her supposed archnemesis. It was a tough decision made on her part, in order to save herself and Koyomi Araragi from their "death sentence."

Kaiki, deciding to accept Hitagi's work request, visits the town where Koyomi and his friends live. He starts to do research on Nadeko Sengoku, the junior high school girl turned god of North Shirahebi Shrine, who is the current target of deceit. 

Kaiki meets Nadeko Sengoku face to face at North Shirahebi Shrine. Nadeko's personality became a lot brighter once she became the snake god, and she starts to talk to Kaiki in a carefree manner about how she was going to kill big brother Koyomi soon... 

Kaiki heads to North Shirahebi Shrine daily in order to deceive Nadeko the snake god but finds himself being followed on his way home. Furthermore, he gets a mysterious threat telling him to "pull out of this case."

Tsubasa Hanekawa, supposedly overseas in search of Meme Oshino, suddenly approached Kaiki to talk to him. After exchanging information with Tsubasa, Kaiki gets the finishing touches ready for his preparations to deceive Nadeko the snake god. 

Kaiki proceeds to deceive Nadeko Sengoku. However, Nadeko with surprising ease sees through Kaiki's lies and attacks with numerous white snakes. What will be coming last out of the tongue of a con artist near death–a lie, or the truth?
